Do we have any Dickens fans in the house... my oh my...I Love Dickens. A Tale of Two Cities; the grittiest darkest coolest book I've ever read. Love it. I love seeing little Dickensian influences in films; the most recent Batman comes to mind. Very French Revolution inspired. What a crazy period in history.

Yes! I love reading Charles Dickens books ,recently my children and I enjoyed watching "Little Dorrit " on dvd hired from the library We all love the twists and turns each of the storieshold.I prefer reading the books first, using my own imagination but sometimes the dvds are great to watch also.

LOL, I just imagined Charles Dickens sitting in the theatre watching Batman. He looks confused, but curious.

You know, I'll have to get a hold of one of the movies, just to compare notes.

Anyone wish for a different ending? Oliver Twist is worth a second read. You can get the ebooks for cheap. My library loans ebooks now, so I always have something to read (the app is called overdrive). I have never read David Copperfield, but I just got it. We'll see.

Personally, I thought the ending to GE was absolutely perfect, given the plot and characters. I'd explain further, but I don't want to spoil it for those who don't know.
